Police said they received a shooting call at 7:15 a.m. near Illinois Avenue and South Cockrell Hill Road.

Witnesses at that location told detectives the woman got out of the car and ran. The man jumped out and chased the woman, leaving the car in gear, before shooting her in the middle of the street, according to Lt. David Pughes with the Dallas Police Department.

With the car having rolled away, the man, later identified by police as Jalmar Garcia, then carjacked a passerby and drove to his home on the 5200 block of Tato Drive, police said.
